How is On Deck Capital going to perform in the near future?
The longer term view from the 10 analysts covering ONDK is one of positive sentiment. Since forecasting becomes more difficult further into the future, broker analysts generally project out to around three years. To get an idea of the overall earnings growth trend for ONDK, I’ve plotted out each year’s earnings expectations and inserted a line of best fit to determine an annual rate of growth from the slope of this line.
This results in an annual growth rate of 23% based on the most recent earnings level of -US$11.5m to the final forecast of -US$21.8m by 2022. This leads to an EPS of $0.43 in the final year of projections relative to the current EPS of $-0.16. However, the expansion of the current -5.8% margin is not expected to be sustained, as it begins to contract to -5.1% by the end of 2022.
